Below\nnormal snowpack and precipitation dating as far back as last winter\nhave resulted in both meteorological and longer term hydrologic\ndrought conditions. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor released\non March 4...moderate to extreme drought exists across much of the\nCentral Idaho Mountains with a focus in Blaine and Custer Counties.\nModerate drought is also present across far southern Idaho near the\nUtah and Nevada border. The latest seasonal drought outlook\n(February 18, 2021-May 31, 2021) indicates that drought conditions\nin these areas will likely persist.\n\nSUMMARY OF REPORTED IMPACTS...\n\nMuch below normal water supply runoff volumes are forecast for\nwatersheds draining the Central Mountains of Blaine County and\nCuster County. This will impact not only portions of Blaine and\nCuster Counties, but adjacent areas of the Snake River Plain and the\nMagic Valley. Poor streamflows in these areas could lead to water\nsupply concerns, especially for those relying on natural flows. Poor\nsoil moisture in areas of drought across southern Idaho could impact\ngrazing conditions.\n\nDrought Impacts Reports can be found via the U.S. Drought Portal in\nthe related websites section.\n\nClimate Summary...\n\nWater Year 2021 precipitation (October 1, 2020-March 8, 2021) varied\nconsiderably across the state. The Panhandle Region as well as north-\ncentral and west-central Idaho, and immediately along the Wyoming\nborder generally received 90 to 120 percent of normal precipitation.\nOtherwise, only 50 to 80 percent of normal precipitation has\noccurred across the remainder of Idaho.\n\nAverage temperatures for the 2021 Water Year so far have been within\na couple degrees of normal except for a portion of south-central\nIdaho (Magic Valley area) where temperatures have been 4 to 6\ndegrees above normal.\n\nBelow is a list of precipitation data for selected locations in\nIdaho for the 2021 Water Year.\n\n         Oct 1, 2020-Mar 8, 2021    Normal     Departure    Last\n          Total Precip(Inches)      Value     From Normal   Year\n\nBOISE             5.63              6.22        -0.59       5.05\n\nMCCALL           14.09             10.07         4.02      11.99\n\nTWIN FALLS        2.81              5.22        -2.41       3.27\n\nPOCATELLO         2.97              5.51        -2.54       3.60\n\nIDAHO FALLS       2.56              4.14        -1.58       1.81\n\nCHALLIS           1.97              3.20        -1.23       2.57\n\nSTANLEY           9.86              8.49         1.37       6.19\n\nLEWISTON          5.64              5.24         0.40       6.84\n\n\nHydrologic Summary...\n\nAs of March 9, 2021 snow water equivalents at many SNOTEL sites in\nthe Central Mountains are in the 15th to 30th percentile for low\nsnow with one location setting a new record low. Twenty-eight day\naverage streamflows at the majority of USGS gaging stations across\nsouthern Idaho were below normal to much below normal.\n\nBelow is a summary of major reservoir system storage across Idaho.\n\n                March 1, 20210 NRCS Reservoir Data\n\n                                  Percent of      Percent of\n                   Capacity        Average\n\nIdaho Panhandle Region                61             106\nHungry Horse...Flathead Lake...Noxon Rapids...Lake Pend Orelle...\nPriest Lake...Lake Coeur D Alene)\n\nDworshak                              70             102\n\nWest Central Basins                   60             103\nAnderson Ranch...Arrowrock...Lucky Peak...Lake Lowell...\nDeadwood...Cascade...Mann Creek)\n\nWood and Lost Basins                  26              59\n(Mackay...Little Wood...Magic)\n\nUpper Snake River Basin               81             120\n(Jackson...Palisades...Henrys...Grassy...Island Park...Ririe\n...Blackfoot...American Falls)\n\nSouthside Snake River Basins          54              81\n(Oakley...Salmon Falls...Wild Horse...Lake Owyhee...Brownlee)\n\nBear River Basin                      62             136\n(Bear Lake...Montpelier)\n\n\nPrecipitation and Temperature Outlook...\n\nThe three month outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for March\nthrough May favors above normal temperatures along the Utah and\nNevada border, below normal temperatures for the Idaho Panhandle,\nand equal chances of above normal, normal, and below normal\ntemperatures for the remainder of the state. Above normal\nprecipitation is favored across the northern third of Idaho with\nequal chances of above normal, normal, or below normal precipitation\nelsewhere.\n\nNext Issuance...\n\nUpdates to this product are generally made on a monthly basis.\n\nRelated Websites...\n\nU.S. DROUGHT PORTAL: HTTP:\/\/WWW.DROUGHT.GOV\n\nNATIONAL DROUGHT MITIGATION CENTER: HTTP:\/\/DROUGHT.UNL.EDU\n\nSTREAM FLOWS: AHPS HTTP:\/\/WATER.WEATHER.GOV\/AHPS USGS\nHTTP:\/\/WATERWATCH.USGS.GOV\n\nNWS WATER SUPPLY FORECASTS: HTTP:\/\/WWW.NWRFC.NOAA.GOV\nHTTP:\/\/WWW.CBRFC.NOAA.GOV\n\nNRCS WATER SUPPLY FORECASTS:\nHTTP:\/\/WWW.WCC.NRCS.USDA.GOV\/WSF\/WSF.HTML\n\nIDAHO DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES: HTTP:\/\/WWW.IDWR.IDAHO.GOV\n\nOREGON WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT (DROUGHT INFORMATION):\nHTTP:\/\/WWW.OREGON.GOV\/OWRD\/PAGES\/WR\/DROUGHT.ASPX\n\nLONG TERM WEATHER AND CLIMATE OUTLOOKS: HTTP:\/\/WWW.CPC.NCEP.NOAA.GOV\n\nWESTERN REGION CLIMATE CENTER (CLIMATE ANOMALY MAPS):\nHTTP:\/\/WWW.WRCC.DRI.EDU\/MONITORING-MAPS\/\n\nNATIONAL INTERAGENCY COORDINATION CENTER (FIRE DANGER AND OUTLOOKS):\n HTTP:\/\/WWW.NIFC.GOV\/NICC\n\nRESERVOIR INFORMATION: NRCS HTTP:\/\/WWW.WCC.NRCS.USDA.GOV\/BASIN.HTML\nBUREAU OF RECLAMATION HTTP:\/\/WWW.USBR.GOV\/PN\/HYDROMET\/SELECT.HTML\n\nUNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE: DISASTER ASSISTANCE\nHTTP:\/\/WWW.USDA.GOV\/WPS\/PORTAL\/USDA\/USDAHOME\n\nAcknowledgments...
